Robert Lyons and Chikara Umihara in Conversation

Ampersand Gallery & Fine Books invites you to a book signing and conversation between photographers Robert Lyons and Chikara Umihara. The conversation will center around their recently published photobooks, Whispering Hope by Chikara and Pictures from the next day by Lyons, featuring photographs from his 2013 body of work, which was shown at the Elizabeth Leach Gallery. The artists will explore questions related to how the design of photobooks relates to their own art practice and the culture of art photography at large, both here in America and in Japan.
